Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 47 I am the Fourth Hokage

Uchiha Yunke had not graduated; he was merely a student who had only been in the Ninja Academy for a little over a month in his third year.

Students at the Ninja Academy are not actually ninjas. It's important to know that ninja numbers and headbands are only issued after students officially graduate from the Ninja Academy.

If they weren't ninjas, Root didn't have that much power over civilians. They might be able to do some things in private, but publicly, Root had no grounds to bring Konoha villagers to Root for interrogation.

"The identity of the root has always been little known in the village, and the root has no right to take away ordinary villagers."

Minato looked at Shisui as he spoke: "If I remember correctly, the management of the village should be the responsibility of the Uchiha's security forces."

"Bang!"

Danzo slammed his cane against the ground again, then looked up at the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, with a dangerous glint in his eyes: "Root, one ninja is dead! Two are seriously injured!"

"Swish..."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than several members of the medical team rushed in, and some of them immediately began to treat the two severely injured roots.

The leader bowed to Minato and asked, "We rushed here as soon as we received the news, Fourth Hokage."

Minato nodded: "Take him back immediately for emergency surgery; the injury is quite serious."

As he spoke, he glanced at the clouds.

This scene infuriated Danzo, who immediately raised his cane to stop the medical ninja carrying the people, saying, "Someone will come to pick them up in a little while."

Minato frowned slightly and said, "As the only two survivors, I think their memories should be able to reconstruct the whole incident."

Danzo's gaze sharpened as he stared at Minato and said, "No one can freely search the minds of Root members... and does the Fourth Hokage believe you can unlock their memories?"

These words reminded Minato of something: the members of Root were all marked with a special curse seal, which allowed them to die, but would not reveal any secrets.

But no one can search freely?

The roots, as expected, had long since become this person's direct subordinates.

In Konoha, only the Hokage has ever had direct access to the Anbu, such as the Third Hokage and himself.

But Danzo...

"Fourth Hokage, there were more than just the two Root members alive here. I think it's necessary to hand this brat from the Uchiha clan over to Root for a memory search." Danzo's somber voice rang out again.

But Minato shook his head unmoved: "The seal that severs the root of tongue disaster is not without a solution. I think I can still do something about sealing techniques."

"Furthermore, Root has no right to interrogate Konoha villagers. If I remember correctly, Root's only function is to train the Hokage's direct ANBU. And the direct ANBU who belong to the Hokage should obey my orders!"

"I! Minato Namikaze, am the Fourth Hokage!"

As the final words faded, Danzo stared intently at the young Fourth Hokage before him.

These words really provoked him, and this was also the most powerful moment ever for the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Danzo gripped his cane tightly, his thoughts drifting back to the past…

in case……

If it weren't for Hiruzen, how could I have been in such a sorry state?

The Fourth Hokage...

If I had said that earlier, I, Danzo Shimura, would be the Hokage now. Only I, Danzo Shimura, could make Konoha more prosperous and powerful!

"Those two Root ninjas are now in your hands. I hope you can give me an explanation in the end. This brat killed Root ninjas, and Root needs someone to pay the price!"

"Bang!"

The cane fell heavily to the ground, and Danzo, regaining his senses, led a group of people away.

As the figure gradually disappeared from view, Danzo's voice rang out again: "Fourth Hokage, you have no idea about the evil of the Uchiha clan. One day, you will regret it. Everything I have done is truly for Konoha."

The figure gradually disappeared, but Minato's gaze remained solemn.

Shisui glanced at Minato and said, "Root, which has existed since the time of the Third Hokage, has always been the place where the Hokage's direct ANBU are trained, but those people just now..."

Minato understood what was to come without needing to say more: the Root ninjas had no respect for him, the Hokage.

This situation effectively turned Root into Danzo's direct subordinate ANBU, but that power belongs to the Hokage...

"Still water..."

"What's wrong, Fourth Hokage?"

"You've grown a lot in the past two years..."

Shisui scratched his head and replied with a smile, "I have indeed learned a lot from following the Fourth Hokage for the past two years, and it is normal for me to grow."

Minato smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he looked at the composed Uchiha Yun beside him and said, "I've heard Shisui mention you a long time ago, and I've become increasingly curious about you. Uchiha Yun, can you tell me how you did it?"

Having been linked by Shisui, the Uchiha and the Fourth Hokage were already on the same side two years ago, so it wouldn't be good to continue talking nonsense at this point.

But there's no need for excessive explanation; Minato Namikaze naturally knows whether he recognized it as the Root or not.

What he wanted to ask was simply about his own strength.

So Yun slightly raised his head, his Sharingan instantly activated, the three tomoe slowly rotated, and the pattern of three-bladed shuriken appeared in Yun's eye sockets.

"A second pair of Mangekyou Sharingan? With eyes like that, dealing with those two Root ninjas would indeed be easy for you."

Minato was slightly surprised. Although he had often heard Shisui mention this clansman, the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan seemed far too young.

"You'd better stay in the Uchiha clan compound for the next few days. Shisui said you learned Shadow Clone Technique a long time ago. In that case, use Shadow Clone Technique to go to school."

Yun nodded and replied, "Will this matter cause any trouble later?"

Minato frowned slightly: "The killing of a Root ninja is generally a serious matter, but fortunately, thanks to Shisui's efforts over the past two years, many in the Jonin squad are his friends. So..."

Minato, who had only heard of Yun before, wouldn't speak of many things directly, but Shisui, who was standing next to him, trusted Yun very much.

Shisui then spoke up, saying, "There will be many troubles later, but the two main ones are: the attitude of the various clans in Konoha and the attitude of the Third Hokage. If either of these parties is on our side, we can subdue the other side."

"call……"

Minato let out a sigh and gave a wry smile: "Shisui, saying that makes me, the Fourth Hokage, seem useless."

Shisui bowed slightly: "How could that be, Fourth Hokage? We have the vast majority of information about the Jonin team. Moreover, the Third Hokage has always trusted you."

These words made Minato smile awkwardly.

The third generation lord, that person trusts more than just himself...

Just as Uzumaki Sora said back then, the Third Hokage's trust in Danzo, his old comrade-in-arms, and his disciple Orochimaru had turned into indulgence.

If this continues...

Only...

I'll upload another chapter after midnight. It seems the new book ranking has risen a bit again. Hehe...
